What is Motivational Interviewing?

 "A collaborative, goal-oriented style of communication with particular attention to the language of change, designed to strengthen personal motivation for and commitment to a specific goal by eliciting and exploring the person's own reasons for change within an atmosphere of acceptance and compassion.” ( Miller and Rollnick (July 2012 Glossary of Motivational Interviewing Terms)

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is often attributed as an approach used by those working in the field of addiction. However, MI (an evidence-based practice) has become influential in enhancing motivation and a commitment to change for those individuals seeking support from their primary care, mental health, education, and criminal justice providers. 

While Motivational Interviewing was first utilized by those counselors and providers offering direct service, it has been expanding further into the areas of management, leadership development, and supervision so that organizations can have a fully integrated approach with their models of care.
